eSIMCard eSIM Data Plans for China

eSIMCard does not provide a true unlimited data eSIM for China. The plans that carry the word “Unlimited” in their name actually include a fixed data allowance of 1GB or 2GB per day, and after the allowance is reached the speed is throttled to 512kbps or 2000kbps.

Instead, eSIMCard offers fixed‑data plans for China that may be more cost‑effective for most travelers. For example, Orange 20GB Data, Unlimited Talk & Text provides 20GB of high‑speed data for 31 days, Orange 50GB Data offers 50GB for 31 days, and Orange 100GB Data supplies 100GB for 31 days. These examples are chosen for their larger data allowances and represent only a subset of the available plans, not the full list.

eSIMCard does not offer a China eSIM with a phone number or SMS capability; all plans for China are data‑only. Travelers who need voice or messaging can use apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection, but these rely on Internet rather than a local phone number. Some apps or VoIP services may be blocked or restricted in China, so it is advisable to confirm that the specific services a traveler intends to use are accessible before purchasing a plan.

eSIMCard offers 31 single‑country plans that cover China alone and 100 multi‑country plans that include China in their coverage. The plans are available in both fixed data amounts and daily data cap formats, allowing customers to choose between a set total quantity of data or a daily allowance that resets each day. Across all plans the price ranges from roughly $2.06 to $395.07 and the data caps span from 1 GB to 100 GB.
